Wapenrok van H. Pek c. 1820 - 1850

This anonymous artwork, "Wapenrok van H. Pek", is a striking example of historical fashion from the early 19th century. The dark blue frock coat, with its elaborate gold embroidery, is a testament to the fashion of the time. The coat is characterized by its long tails, which were a defining feature of men's formalwear in the period. The red lining, visible at the tails, provides a contrasting color that adds a touch of elegance. Now located in the Rijksmuseum, this coat offers a fascinating glimpse into the clothing of the past.
